Baseball Cities Tour

August 14th – It is hard to believe that we have been on the road for just over 4 months and that we have already seen 29 ballparks! It has been a great journey and the Boston Red Sox provided us with a grand finish. Fenway is a great ballpark. We arrived in Boston early enough to spend some time walking around the outside ballpark before the game. The game itself could not have been more exciting. Boston was playing Tampa Bay (where we started our trip) and like the first game, this one came down to the very last pitch and the Red Sox won!! The fans welcomed Jon Lester for his first home start after his battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This was Fenway’s 365th consecutive sellout – the second longest streak in baseball history.

Game 29 – Shea Stadium
August 7th –This was an evening game so it was more comfortable weather wise than the game at Yankee Stadium. This is also another team with a new stadium in its near future and the new one is being built right next to the existing one so as you are watching games you can also see progress on the new stadium (Citi Field).
